ASCC 2025 Annual Campus Safety and Security Report
American Samoa Community College's 2025 Annual Campus Safety and Security Report (10 pages, linked from the Institutional Effectiveness campus-crime-statistics page) is the college's Clery ASR: it identifies CSAs, encourages immediate reporting of crimes and emergencies, and states that in an emergency the college uses multiple methods to communicate timely warnings and emergency notifications as categorized in the Disaster Emergency Plan. It is a distinct document from the DEP PDF already on file.

What the policy says
CSA definitionverbatim
The College identifies certain individuals as Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) who have a duty to report crimes disclosed to them.

- Section III.A.1, page 5 of the PDF.
DEP as the response planverbatim
The American Samoa Community College maintains a comprehensive Disaster Emergency Plan (DEP) that outlines the College's official response to a wide range of natural and human-caused emergencies.
- Section III.B opening. Apostrophe in College's is ASCII 0x27 in this sentence of the text layer.

How this policy works
- When it activates
- In the event of an emergency the college uses multiple methods to communicate timely warnings and emergency notifications as categorized in the Disaster Emergency Plan (persons with disabilities, natural disasters, emergency active threats, environmental hazards, plus DR/COOP alert and escalation).
- Who decides
- The ASR points to the DEP for categorization and activation. Contact list includes Campus Security, the CIO, both vice presidents, and the President. The ASR does not name a single Clery-notification decision-maker beyond that DEP reference.
- Timeliness standard
- Immediate reporting of crimes and emergencies is encouraged. The ASR does not reprint a without-delay issuance sentence.
- Emergency notification vs. timely warning
- The ASR uses both 'timely warnings' and 'emergency notifications' as the DEP's communication categories. Detailed two-track procedures live in the DEP, not in this 10-page report.
- Testing cadence
- Not stated in the 2025 ASR.
- Scope & limits
- Reporting encouragement covers students, employees, and visitors. Confidential/anonymous statistical reports may go to a CSA or the Dean of Student Services. Security personnel are non-sworn.

Analysis
Reading the policy
This file sits alongside american-samoa-community-college-alert-policy.json (documentType emergency-operations-plan). The ASR is the Clery annual report; the DEP is the operations plan. Excerpts do not overlap.
The 2025 ASR (text layer, second read) is short. It states ASCC's commitment to a safe, secure, and supportive environment, identifies Campus Security Authorities (security personnel, Dean of Student Services, athletic directors and coaches, faculty advisors and club moderators, and any official with significant responsibility for student and campus activities), and encourages students, employees, and visitors to immediately report crimes, emergencies, or suspicious activity to Campus Security or American Samoa Department of Public Safety (911).
Section III.B is the alerting statement: the college maintains a comprehensive Disaster Emergency Plan that outlines official response to natural and human-caused emergencies. In the event of an emergency, the college uses multiple methods to communicate timely warnings and emergency notifications, categorized as outlined in the DEP (persons with disabilities, natural disasters, emergency active threats, environmental hazards, plus the disaster-recovery / continuation-of-operations alert and escalation procedures). The ASR does not reprint the DEP's full issuance chain or a without-delay paragraph; those live in the DEP file.
Campus Security is described as non-sworn, working with ASDPS without a formal MOU. The report is published annually by October 1 via email, physical posting, and the ASCC website.
Every excerpt below was character-checked against the PDF text layer. The existing DEP-file excerpt 'The President shall establish administrative procedures...' is not in the 2024 DEP PDF opened this run, and the existing security-page mission sentence live-reads 'operatred' for 'operated'; those are P1 deltas, not this file.
Takeaways

The 2025 ASR is a 10-page Clery report, distinct from the 2024 DEP PDF already on file.

CSAs are defined and listed; immediate reporting to Campus Security or ASDPS 911 is encouraged.
